My husband had Kyprolis as first line of treatment. It's less likely to cause neuropathy, but more likely to cause heart issues. My husband did, eventually,
Have heart rhythm issues, but he had a history of Afib. He was then switched to Valcaide and had no issues with neuropathy, It's usually used as a second line of treatment, and it has been a miracle drug for many.

So did they switch you to a different drug? I will only be having it every other week. Not sure that will make a difference.

And it happened about 3 hours after

I had Kyprolis in 2017. It can cause heart issues. I took my blood pressure daily while I was taking it. Hoping you do well. 💕🙏
